Hard to ignore the video boards

ARLINGTON – Roy Williams was right. You can’t take your eyes off them.

The world’s largest HD video boards stretch 60 yards long and are 72-feet tall. They hang 90 feet above the field and cost $40 million. The Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Vision System

weighs 600 tons.

The Express-News has two seats in the press box that are stationed behind the end zone, so we’ll be spending a lot of time watching replays on the video boards. But no matter where you are sitting in the building, your eyes are drawn to them.

Another quick observation: From a schematic standpoint, this place isn’t much different than Texas Stadium, which, of course, was one of Jerry Jones’ goals. The coloring inside is similar. Same goes for the retractable roof. I’m glad Jones paid homage to the old place, which was the setting for so many classic games.
